What can cause my C350e to shake when I apply the brakes?

Feeling shaking or vibrating in your C350e as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.

How many brake pads does my C350e come with?

It’s common for vehicles to have four brake pads per axle — two on each front wheel and two on each back wheel. Since the front wheels tend to put in more work when bringing your C350e to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.

How long can I expect my C350e brake pads to last?

You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your C350e can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.

Is it bad if my C350e is leaking brake fluid when off?

Your C350e brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.
